I believe you’re doing what is called an equivocation? (edit: not sure exactly what it’s called, but you’re arguing against something I did not say or mean)

We’re talking about money, in a thread about money, on a post about money. At no point did I suggest that money makes unhappy people happy.




It's called a strawman argument.

And I think you did not mean "win at life" in as broad a sense as the other person interpreted it. Either that or you two have very different ideas of what "winning at life" could mean.
